Abstract

Platform workers' autonomy and agency are recurring themes in the study of the gig-economy where narratives purporting workers' autonomy and empowerment conflict with those alleging the control and marginalization of workers.While it has been said that promoting workers' agency can threaten the valuation of platform-based companies, the benefits of supporting workers' autonomy in traditional organizations are well-established.To understand such inconsistencies, it is necessary to measure perceptions of autonomysupport; yet, no validated instruments exist that can be used to measure workers' perceptions of algorithmic autonomy-support.To address this gap, we draw on the Theory of Self-Determination to reconceptualize the notion of autonomy-support for the technoorganizational phenomenon of algorithmically managed platform work.In doing so, we introduce a new construct, namely: Perceived Algorithmic Autonomy Support (PAAS).In this work-in-progress paper, we describe our current work in developing and validating a theoretically-based measure for PAAS.Preliminary results are provided.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
